15. 15. Bored hole size before tapping ( for thread cutting )

  • Recommended Bored Hole Size Table for Taper Pipe Threads (PT) (refer to JIS B 0203) <Remarks during tapping> ・PT internal threads have R design on their crests. The taps should cut threads with their thread root. ・ On thread having non-full threads, if you are going to cut effective thread length ℓ, use the tap of long type.

Remarks 1. Opening of Internal Thread (Face of workpiece) is Basic

Diameter Position.

Remarks 2. Effective Thread Length has 2 types, with non-Full Thread

Type and without non-Full Thread Type. Remarks 3. Concerning bored hole shape, considering load on taps, taper bored hole is recommended.

Remarks 4. When applying taper bored hole, by referring to values

shown in columns ②·⑥~⑧, prepare the taper hole by

using pipe reamer (1/16 taper). By referring to values

shown in columns ⑨ and ⑩, select the drill diameter

before reaming by taking reamer's margin into account.

Remarks 5. When preparing straight bored hole, by referring to

values shown in columns ⑨ and ⑩, select drill diameter.
